Thanks to both of you for the info... They are a level 1 trauma facility in Phoenix and I believe they do transplants as well. Like I said it was only discussed briefly during the interview and I'm used to the standard 3 12s so this was all new to me and all I remember is that people are scheduled 6:30-3 and 3-11 (something like that) and then I think people do evening call 11-7 and weekend call so that people are available 24/7. I'm just trying to figure out how it will all work out... I guess I'll find out in a couple weeks :)

Hey all! I just accepted an OR position and they didn't explain the schedule super great during the interview, so I know my schedule is going to be mon-fri 1500-2300 but then they said I would need to do call as well. I want to say they said 8 shifts in a 10 week period? Does that sound like a lot? And how does that work? I work my 40 hours and then have to be on call for another 8? Anyone have a schedule like this and have a minute to explain... I would really appreciate it. Melissa
